Chapter 15: Chapter 15: New Fans
"Before we start braising, let’s first blanch the at."
After the at had been in the pot for a mont, a lot of scum rose to the surface. Jiang Qiuqiu nudged it with her spatula. "Once the scum has rendered out, we’ll take the at out and set it aside."
At this point, the pork belly already had a faint, aty fragrance.
Words couldn’t do it justice. As the faint, aty aroma transmitted through the low-end sensors to the newcors’ terminals, the live chat suddenly exploded with comnts.
These were all people who had seen Detective Zhuo’s post yesterday and flocked to Jiang Qiuqiu’s stream to see for themselves if she was just so Princess propped up by the Military Departnt, or a true culinary master.
When they first tuned in, they found her voice pleasant and her cooking thodical, but they remained skeptical.
Until the savory aroma of the gugu at wafted through—
That’s when this group of newcors erupted.
#It slls so good!#
#She seems different from other strears!#
#I thought gugu at wasn’t edible, but the host’s preparation thod is amazing!#
#What are the next steps for this braised dish? Is it ready to eat yet?#
Jiang Qiuqiu had just drained the pork belly and was preparing the spices when she glanced up and saw the flood of comnts. She made a wry face. "It already has an aroma just from being blanched?" She bent down and took a sniff. It really was just the faintest scent of at.
She could only marvel, "You all have really sharp noses."
"Actually, gugu at is delicious. Whether you make it into steaks, braise it, stew it, or steam it, each thod brings out its own unique flavor."
"The braising process is a little long, and we’ve only just begun. Please be patient. I made a larger portion today, so I’ll be opening up more tasting slots."
With that, she heated so oil in her pot. She swirled it around with her spatula a couple of tis until the oil evenly coated the bottom.
The fans in the chat were floored.
#What? That aroma was just the beginning?#
#She hasn’t even started cooking the dish for real yet!?#
#It slls this good already?#
#The host isn’t just bluffing, is she...?#
At first, Terry was delighted to see everyone’s shocked and amazed reactions. But when he saw soone questioning Jiang Qiuqiu, he quickly jumped into the chat to retort.
#Terry is a wolf: Juju never bluffs. This is your first ti watching the stream. This little bit of aroma is nothing.#
#Terry is a wolf: Besides, just talking about the aroma doesn’t do it justice! Just wait until you snag a tasting slot, then you’ll know what true deliciousness is!# The way he acted like the stream’s official spokesperson made Jiang Qiuqiu laugh.
"Thank you for your support, Terry is a wolf. I’ve noticed you all have such a way with words. It always makes
happy to read your tasting reviews."
#Terry is a wolf: !Of course! I’m Juju’s most loyal fan, so can you pull so strings for
when it’s ti to grab the slots today?!#
"The slots are controlled by the system’s backend. I can’t change the paraters."
#Terry is a wolf: Sigh.#
"Alright, while we’ve been talking, our aromatics have been stir-fried until fragrant. Now it’s ti to add the drained pork belly to the pot—"
The at hit the ginger and garlic in the hot oil, and almost instantly, a much richer, atier aroma erupted, aggressively assaulting the senses of the little interstellar fans!
Now they believed her. The aroma from before truly was just the tip of the iceberg!
#So fragrant!#
#It looks so delicious!#
Before they could get another word in, they saw Jiang Qiuqiu raise a slender hand, pouring in bowl after bowl of seasonings.
As she poured, she explained, "First, add so cooking wine to remove any gay-ness. While it’s stir-frying, we can add so Thorn Bee honey—add more if you like it sweet, less if you don’t. Finally, we can add so black fungus. This will dye the at a beautiful, deep red during the braising process."
